And being versed in the language of trust and transparency can only help as I try to push forward and get buy-in from admin to allow a library news blog.

Take the library to the users. … I will be creating a Discovery Team in my library to explore new technologies and Web Services and determine how they may enhance our services.

Major ideas of Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 - knit together and make sense of the stuff which I've been reading, e.g. blogging, wiki, folksonomy etc. Trust and participation - change the way how I approach project management

This is exactly what I need to grow the [name of] network and to maintain our goals of transparency, creating learning communities, providing real-time answers to questions and resources, making it 'sexy' and exciting to be part of our network, helping people feel like they are part of a large and growing movement, etc....

Radical Trust is something that I plan to implement in my new job as a library director. I also want to ensure as a library administrator that I am allowing my staff to experiment, fail and try again. I really appreciate that that is part of Library 2.0.

Again, in general, the experience was an eye-opener regarding all the myriad ways to deliver messages and assistance. Unless finances are an issue, I plan on applying as many of the new technologies as possible to fulfilling the mission statement of my unit.

This is where my 'theory of change' would go, but I still need to meet with my State Librarian, State library association ED, [state] Association of Public Broadcasters, and about a dozen other statewide organizations that will be part of our statewide effort to promote deliberation and community engagement to solve BIG issues - like health care for our first big effort!!!
